Same with Glenn. He was injured the past 2 seasons and the Bills had a younger, cheaper replacement and dumped his salary on us.
I'd say Hardy, James, Thornton, Odom, Coles, Bryant and Glenn were more like "tier B" free agents.
TO and Deltha were only tier C due to attitude questions, but were tier B based on skill level.
O'Neal was a good player in Denver, and tbh Nelson was pretty good in Jacksonville as well.
We definitely could've done better with free agency, but I stand by "if the team is good enough to win divisions, they're good enough to win playoff games".
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
